FAQ
Q: Is the Diesel Armbar DZ1979 suitable for swimming?
A: With 5 ATM (50 metres) water resistance, this watch is suitable for splashes, rain, and brief immersion such as swimming in shallow water. It is not suitable for diving, snorkelling, or high-impact water sports. Always ensure the crown is pushed in fully to maintain water resistance integrity.
Q: What type of battery does this watch use and how long does it last?
A: The Diesel Armbar uses a standard quartz battery that typically lasts 2-3 years depending on usage. When replacement is needed, bring your watch to Cassims & Co. where our technicians will fit a genuine battery and test water resistance seals to maintain warranty compliance.
Q: Can I wear the nylon bracelet and watch together?
A: Absolutely. The set is designed to be worn together as a coordinated statement, with the bracelet complementing the watch's red, white, and black colour scheme. The bracelet features adjustable sizing and stainless steel elements that mirror the watch's hardware.
Q: Is the red silicone strap replaceable?
A: Yes, the 24mm silicone strap can be replaced. Cassims & Co. can source genuine Diesel replacement straps, or you can opt for aftermarket 24mm straps. We recommend professional fitting to ensure proper attachment and maintain water resistance.
Q: Does this watch have a date function?
A: No, the Diesel Armbar DZ1979 features a clean three-hand design (hours, minutes, seconds) without date complication. This contributes to the dial's uncluttered, graphic aesthetic that defines the Armbar collection.
Q: What warranty does this watch carry?
A: When purchased from Cassims & Co. as an authorised Diesel retailer, this watch carries a 2-year international Diesel warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty does not cover normal wear, battery replacement, or damage from misuse.
Q: Is this watch suitable for both men and women?
A: Yes, the Diesel Armbar DZ1979 is a unisex design. The 44mm case size suits a wide range of wrist sizes, and the bold colour palette appeals to anyone who appreciates contemporary, statement-making accessories.
Warranty
- Warranty Period: This Diesel Armbar DZ1979 carries a 2-year international manufacturer warranty from the date of purchase when bought from an authorised Diesel retailer.
- What Is Covered: The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, including movement malfunctions and case/bracelet defects that arise under normal use conditions.
- What Is Not Covered: The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, battery replacement, scratches or cosmetic damage, water damage resulting from improper use or failure to maintain water resistance, damage from accidents or misuse, or unauthorised repairs or modifications.
- Water Resistance: Water resistance is not a permanent condition. Seals and gaskets deteriorate over time and must be tested and replaced periodically to maintain the stated water resistance rating.
- Authorised Retailer Requirement: Warranty validity requires proof of purchase from an authorised Diesel retailer. Cassims & Co. is a fully authorised Diesel retailer, and all our watches come with complete warranty documentation.
- Warranty Claims: To make a warranty claim, bring your watch and original purchase receipt to Cassims & Co. We will assess the issue and coordinate with Diesel to ensure prompt resolution under warranty terms.
- After-Warranty Service: Once the manufacturer warranty expires, Cassims & Co. continues to provide comprehensive service and repairs at competitive rates, ensuring your timepiece receives expert care throughout its lifetime.
Care guide
- Daily Wear: Avoid impact and contact with hard surfaces that may scratch the case or crystal. Remove the watch before engaging in contact sports or activities involving heavy machinery.
- Water Exposure: Rinse with fresh water after exposure to chlorinated or salt water. Never operate the crown while the watch is wet or submerged, as this compromises water resistance.
- Silicone Strap Care: Clean the red silicone strap regularly with mild soap and warm water to remove skin oils, lotions, and environmental debris. Dry thoroughly before wearing to prevent skin irritation.
- Chemical Avoidance: Keep the watch away from solvents, perfumes, cosmetics, and cleaning products, which can degrade silicone materials and damage the dial finish.
- Storage: When not wearing the watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Prolonged UV exposure can fade the vibrant red silicone over time.
- Battery Replacement: When the watch stops or shows erratic timekeeping, bring it to Cassims & Co. for professional battery replacement. This ensures water resistance seals are tested and maintained.
- Regular Servicing: We recommend having your Diesel watch inspected every 2-3 years to verify water resistance integrity and overall condition, particularly if you frequently expose it to water.
- Crown Care: Ensure the crown is always pushed in fully to its normal position. Never force the crown when adjusting time; if resistance is felt, consult our service team.
